This year I\u2019ve set a goal of raising $12,000 by April 30. If you think this site is doing important work, I\u2019m asking you to make a donation to help keep it going.<\/p>\n<p>Last year I set a goal of raising $10,000. People from across the political spectrum, and from around the state and beyond, helped NMPolitics.net <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nmpolitics.net\/index\/2010\/06\/thanks-for-helping-nmpolitics-net-raise-10k\/\">surpass that goal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m hoping for a similarly positive response this year. This site derives much of its revenue from advertising sales, but individual donations are an integral part of the funding that keeps it going.<\/p>\n<p>You can give a one-time contribution in any amount, or you can sign up to have your credit or debit card automatically charged $10 or $20 each month, with the ability to cancel at any time. Those of you who are already making automatic monthly contributions don\u2019t need to do anything \u2013 your donations will continue.<\/p>\n<p>Those who sign up for automatic contributions will receive a monthly newsletter containing exclusive analysis and interesting tidbits about what\u2019s happening in New Mexico and news about NMPolitics.net. Those who give a one-time contribution of at least $120 will also receive the monthly newsletter for a year.<\/p>\n<h3>Helping those who support NMPolitics.net\u2019s mission<\/h3>\n<p>This year, if NMPolitics.net succeeds in reaching its fundraising goal, I will make donations of $250 apiece to two organizations that share NMPolitics.net\u2019s mission. That mission is, in the tradition of non-partisan journalism, to hold government and political leaders accountable through hard-hitting but fair reporting while also encouraging policy and political debate that promotes the common good.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25621\"  class=\"wp-caption module image alignright\" style=\"max-width: 270px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25621 \" title=\"Heath horizontal\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nmpolitics.net\/index\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Heath-horizontal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"270\" height=\"256\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Heath Haussamen<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/nmfog.org\/\">N.M. Foundation for Open Government<\/a> fights battles that are essential to ensuring the media and the public have access to information about the activities of their government. Holding government and political leaders accountable isn\u2019t possible without sunshine.<\/p>\n<p>And <a href=\"http:\/\/nmfirst.org\/\">New Mexico First<\/a>, through its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nmpolitics.net\/index\/2010\/10\/thanks-for-refreshingly-productive-debates\/\">congressional debates<\/a> and other events, is leading the way in facilitating productive political and policy debate that promotes the common good.<\/p>\n<p>If NMPolitics.net raises $12,000 by April 30, its parent company, Haussamen Publications, will donate $250 to each of these organizations.<\/p>\n<h3>Make a contribution today<\/h3>\n<p>Your contribution will be publicly listed along with others on NMPolitics.net.
